Fred S BUCHY

BUCHY, Fred S. In loving memory of Fred S. Buchy, 80 years, who passed away Saturday evening, March 27, 2004 at the Sudbury Regional Hospital - Laurentian Site. Born in Gilbert Plains, Manitoba, he grew up on the family farm, moving to Sudbury in 1940. He served as a volunteer with the Canadian Army 1942-1945. He married Betty in 1946 and they became one of the first families to move into Lively in 1951. Fred worked as an underground miner for INCO, first at Frood Mine, then at Creighton Mine after the war, for 29 years, retiring in 1977. He was a proud member of the Town of Lively Volunteer Fire Department for 25 years. He was active in sports, baseball in his youth and curling in the 1950's and 60's. Fred was an avid sports fan for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Blue Jays. He always kept up on local and national poltics and enjoyed a good debate on current affairs. He was a long time member and past vice president of the Royal Canadian Legion Lively Branch. He and Betty enjoyed his retirement years, winters in Florida and summers on Manitoulin Island. He was a great outdoorsman, hunting deer and moose, and a skilled fisherman who loved to pull a pickeral out of Lake Mindemoya or fish for salmon in Providence Bay. The family would like to especially thank the nursing staff of the Continuing Care Wing at Laurentian Site for their care and kindness. Beloved husband of 58 years to Elizabeth Joyce "Betty" Buchy of Lively.
